My Thoughts
I received Poetry for Kids; Robert Frost, and immensely enjoyed this book which includes 35 poems edited by author and historian Jay Parini and illustrated by Michael Paraskevas. An introduction to the poet's life, a commentary, and definitions of keywords are included.
This is the perfect read in that each poem is paired with a scene that relays its charming magical-ness, making this book attractive not only to children but adults who love Frost's poetry too.
